macassar oil. they discovered that dead
bees burned to ashes and seethed in oil
with leaves of willow would stop hair
from falling off, but should the hair be
too thick, then must swallow be burned
to ashes under tile and the ashes be
sprinkled on the head. But in order
altogether to prevent the growth of hair

found an effectual depilatory-'' never

pasty ingredients. But if carvings had

terror and expectation.
After ascending few steps to the
summit of the cliff Pierre LIE Tour
stopped. Pauline heard the waves break
ing with deafening roar 100 feet below
them.
'sLookr' said Pierre, ''look toward the
sea and wait"
Pauline obeyed. But she had scarcely
waited moment, with her eyes strained
eagerly seaward, when another flash of
lightning quivered out of the dark clouds.
The whole expanse of an angry sea was
